I love the reframe about how to network and build relationships with peers, vendors, and venues! I'm challenged by what it practically looks like to add value for them as someone just starting out with limited existing networks. Could you offer an example or two about what this might look like? Really appreciate it!
This is an awesome question! I'm going to add this to the line up and get you some ideas! I know its tough when you feel like you don't have much to offer but trust me, you do.
@@candice.coppola It definitely does feel that way -- thank you for taking the time to think through it and for sharing more!

Hahaha thanks!
@@candice.coppola are you on instagram??
Thank you for this video and for doing what you do! I'm obsessed! My question is for the legal side of the card. Do you wait to file as a sole proprietor/LLC or file right away? Also, taxes, and what paperwork do we fill out, etc?
I'm so happy to help Cheyenne! Thanks so much for watching and for asking me questions. This is a great question and I am definitely going to teach you this inside The Wedding Planner Business Blueprint. I would set up an LLC straight away to protect your business and be legally legit. It's very simple and easy to do (I have an online service I can recommend if you want to email me) and once it's set up, you're good to go. For taxes, you'll want to keep good financial records of your expenses and the money you make. For your first year, you can probably use the same accountant who does your taxes currently. As your business grows, you may want to look into more comprehensive tax services. If you're in the US, something like H&R Block should be OK for your first year or two! :) I hope that helps and don't forget to sign up for the waitlist for WPBB!! XOXO
@candice.coppola thanks for your response girl! You're so informative and you go into depth to help me see and understand questions I didn't even know I had so it's a great pleasure to listen! I plan on checking out this blueprints for sure! I've been doing my own taxes for years now plus I own my other business as well but taxes have been the biggest hurdle for me. I have a business checking account to help keep track.
Thanks for sharing this! Yes Candice, please talk about Partial Planning and why you can't stand it. We just scratched this service from our list of wedding planning services. So, yes please share your thoughts. I would love to hear it!!!!! :)
Happy to hear you’re re thinking this service! I’m on it for an upcoming video. Glad you want to hear my thoughts on it!! ❤❤❤❤
@@candice.coppola Perfect! I can't wait! ❤
Thanks for the advice ✨️
You bet!
During my first year in biz, I did so many of these I already don't like them anymore, lol. The diy brides are insane! I have had the whole family there on the day-of crafting on the spot, then blame me if they run out of time to decorate because I did not show up the morning before to help do the diy crafts the whole day before.
Yes Mary! Such a PITA! ❤️
Awesome
Thanks for watching! ❤
@@candice.coppola Welcome ♥️
What TOOL do you use on the day of the wedding as a TIMER?
Hey Isabel! What is the timer being used for exactly? Payroll? The actually wedding day timeline? Elaborate for me! 🥰
Let me know if you have any questions about how I spend my time! ;)
Yes, video on how not giving up the keys!! 🔐
Coming right up!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
"Promo sm" 😈
I am changing my career to graphic designer to wedding planner, I´m from Los Cabos, México and so excited to practice my english and put the work with all your advices Candice, thank you so much for all this information
Wow, congrats on the career change!! That’s so exciting. Los Cabos is such a hot spot for weddings. Thanks for being here! I’m so excited to help you grow your planning biz!!
Hello candice I was trying to download the business plan but it is not working please it is very important for me🙏🙏
I tested it and it’s working. Make sure you’re downloading it at candicecoppola.com/bizplan and doublecheck there are no typos in your email! ❤️
What's the planners playback
Hey there! The Planners Playbook is my educational community for wedding planners. You can learn more about it here: plannersplaybook.com ❤️❤️😭
give a part two on this
It’s coming soon! ❤️❤️ Are there any other videos you’d like to see?
I love that you addressed this, Candice. Most people give advice on how and what you need to start your business. It’s rare to find someone who tells you how to actually get clients for that business. I’m a luxury stationery designer and after working in a full time job for the past 5 years and then taking a year off, I’m now back to doing what I love but felt so out of touch in the industry I needed some quick reminders. Your video has reminded me of what it takes to get back in the game fast!
This makes me so happy! Thank you for taking the time to share and for being here. I’m glad this video was helpful!! If you’re into podcasts I recommend checking mine out - I talk a lot about more advanced business strategy over there!!! Https://podcast.candicecoppola.com
Yes please share more!!!
I got you! Anything else you’d like me to make a video on?
Im a wedding photographer and most if not all of this applies. Great advice! Some of these points are obvious but sometimes you need to hear them in a specific way to make it click!
So glad you could take something away from this video Brandon! ❤️ I appreciate you leaving a comment and sharing. Thanks so much!!!
What's even funnier is someone who grows up to be an adult just to become a UA-camr😂. No sit back down little girl😂
I think judgmental keyboard warriors are much worse.
Thanks for leaving a comment and helping my video get seen ✌🏼🙃
They sure are!!! Lol
As prior project manager babysitting adults should just be the job description
Hahaha pretty much
Great video Candice!
Thanks buddy!!!! I appreciate you watching ❤️
That blazer is 😍🔥
Hahaha thanks! It’s J.Crew 😜
I really appreciate your videos! I can’t wait to watch them all. I’m in the baby stages of becoming a wedding planner. Your videos encourage me and give me so much insight. Keep it up!! ❤🎉 If I may ask, was there a large start-up cost? How long did it take you to start making the salary you really wanted?
Wow, thanks for encouraging ME Michelle!!!!! I have a blog coming on startup costs, but what I love about this work is those costs are small chunks spent over time. It’s not like you need a loan to purchase products or inventory. Expect t to spend $500 on a few things to get started, and maybe $2,000 overall over a series of a few months. That’ll cover education, your contract, business registration, a website, some templates and software, and yeah! That’s if! 😘😘😘
All great points.
Thanks Jess!
Thank you so much Candice! I’ve definitely gained more experience , I’m consistently providing high quality service and I’m in high demand.
You’re doing so amazing lady!! I’m proud of you!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Do you have a course of interpersonal skillset?
I don’t - but how about a future video on it? 😉
Thanks for all the info. Still trying to start the business...LOL
You got this! 🎉💪🏻

Yes please, how to keep the keys
Hey there- not sure I understand your comment in context of the video. Mind clarifying? 😉
I’d love to see a video about how and what to upsell to clients
You got it! 😉
I don't understand why you have so little interaction with your videos because you provide so much value to all WPs. Keep up the good work. PS: a design and copywriting video would be great by the way!
Thanks so much for the encouragement and suggestions! Definitely will put something together for you!
Thank you , your videos are amazing can’t wait to see you blow up and get the views these videos deserve!
Awwww thanks ☺️🥺😘
Thank you love 🙌🏼
You're so welcome!
Hey Candice , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Do you have a video that shows how the client views and uses the brochure?
